Ambode Fails To Honour Calls By Lagos Assembly Probe Panel

The immediate past Governor of Lagos state , Akinwunmi Ambode has continually ignored the calls by the House of Assembly ad-hoc Committee probing the activities of his administration.

Reacting to the dishonouring attitude of the governor, Speaker Mudasiru Obasa vowed that if the ex-governor fails to appear after a public invitation through newspaper publications the House would issue a warrant of arrest on him.
